Well, the UA already has to know the source of the stylesheets (UA,
author, user), so it should at least be able to find the respective value
easily.

In user stylesheets at least.

That would have to be realised with a pseudo-class (funny, eh?) like
"ul:noclass" (and probably ':noid' respectively).
In some (AFAIK wrong) implementations "ul[class='']" might work already.
Another, more general approach would be an attribute negator, i.e.
something like "ul[!class]".
For now overwriting works more or less:
ul {foo: bar} /* no class */
ul[class] {foo: baz} /* any class */
The specifity differs, though.
